There's some emergent gameplay, but not enough. It's interesting that Rockstar's mastered that formula for going on 2 decades now while other devs really struggle to get it right.
When I fire off a few rounds near civilians in a crowded area, I expect NCPD to descend with MaxTac in a proportionate response but that never really happens. Most of the emergent stuff feels orchestrated.
I do like how you have to have Body 8 to jack a car and Tech 8 to break into a NCPD squad car - forces some neat character building choices.
The stealth in this game, coupled with the hacking, isn't half bad. I think the key as I discovered last night is to use both aggressively - Reset Optics is a godsend.
I also had my first hard crash last night. Luckily it was during a cutscene so I didn't lose too much.
